Abstract
- Research is being carried out to diversify the sources of n-3 fatty acid-rich lipids for animal feed. In this study, 3 batches of 12 pigs with between 50 and 105 kg of live weight, received isolipidic diets containing either palm oil (PO), or rapeseed oil (CO), or hemp oil (HO) (providing respectively 0.6; 1.9 and 3.4 g of C18:3 n-3 (ALA) /kg of feed). The quantity of ALA deposited in the meat is higher (p < 0.001) in the HO pigs. Hemp oil may be an interesting source of ALA to improve the nutritional quality of pork. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
